We look forward to further supporting the Company’s best-in-class integration capabilities using our increased scale to provide opportunities for both employees and customers.”
Nathan Brown, Managing Director at Wind Point, stated, “The Protection Bureau accelerates CTSI’s strategic growth by delivering additional resources in the Mid-Atlantic and adding further in-house central station capabilities. This acquisition continues our transformation to a best-in-class fire, security, nurse call, and design-build audio visual systems integration platform with capabilities to serve any highly engineered low voltage system requirement.”

Combining The Protection Bureau with CTSI will deliver an even greater customer experience, sustain and expand our growth, and enable career opportunities for the employees that have worked so hard to bring our company to the market leading position it enjoys today.”
